Old. Broken. Fading skills. More pads than tricks. Washed-up, life-long skateboarder following my little version of Stoke deep into the twilight. Zine: Zero Street Cred IG: ThePastParticiple

What world do I live in?

This guy gets it. open.substack.com/pub/4tsskate...

A thing I just wrote, about a thing I am about to do. twilightsessions.blogspot.com/2025/02/retu...

Today. How I do desire Winter and I become better strangers. At this point, I am far better at shoveling this ramp than I am at skating it.

Til death do us part…

Summer, please return, promptly. Me, back in the brighter days.

Tonight we explored a frozen swamp. That’s my friend Chris standing next to a 6’ tall beaver lodge. In the tree is a Blue Heron bird’s next. The hole? That’s where Chris fell through the ice into 4’ deep water. He had walk about a mile back, soaking wet, with temps in the upper 20s. Gnarly night.

Keep pushing.

HAWK '84

Shovel today. Skate tomorrow.

Band of the Week. Great German dark wave. open.spotify.com/artist/70OwN...

Hawk has done his last 540, ever. We grew up seeing fav pros do things for the first time. 540. Handrails 360 Flips. etc. We are now seeing them do things for the LAST time. Sobering. Sad. Awesome. And beautiful. All in the same instant. www.instagram.com/reel/DFvh1E1...

FB deactivation reason: "Suggested reels. Suggested content. Algorithms that show me what YOU think I want to see. Removal of fact checking. Zuckerberg licking Trumps boots. AI infusion. What's not to hate about Facebook these days? You guys RUINED this platform trying to maximize profits. I spit."

Lucero is a spirit animal.

Today. Noir, Snow, Cold, and Stoke.

Skater friends....so, tariffs in the U.S. are looming. Most people seem to think this will cause price increases. Remains to be seen what will actually happen. That said, has/is anyone stocking-up on any hard goods in anticipation of a worst case scenario? I might grab a few decks this week.

Shoveled yesterday. Skate tomorrow.

1985. Age 11. 2025. Age 51 (well, I'll be 51 in April. Close enough)

106 years ago today. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_M...

My co-worker just got back from Iceland. This landscape is staggering.

Question for my skater friends: You are trying a new trick (or relearning an old one). How much time, on average, do you spend trying it before giving-up/moving on to something else?

There was this parking garage by the football field at Tufts University. The grounds crew use most of the first floor for storage. Lots of plywood, and other stuff. To us, it was make-shift skate park. B/S Pop-Shuv to fakie on some stuff we just threw together.

Go watch this on Roger’s YouTube for some cool Black Label / Lucero history.

Cool thing I found in the woods.

Two photos that resonate on a deep level, back when it was still an actual sub-culture.

And we are off and running on Bluesky.
